Starting this Friday: Virtual Symplectic Seminars on Zoom

[Catherine Cannizzo]

Dear colleague,

Hello, and we hope you are all faring well amidst the pandemic. We are organizing a virtual symplectic seminar on Zoom, the “Western Hemisphere Virtual Symplectic Seminar”  beginning with speaker Paul Seidel this Friday March 27 at 9am Pacific Daylight Time/12pm Eastern Daylight Time and Laura Starkston at 12pm PDT/3pm EDT the same day. This is a research seminar aimed at anyone with interests in symplectic topology and related subjects. Each Friday for the rest of the semester there will be two talks. Our schedule is here. If you would like to receive future talk announcements please click on “Join Group" at our Google Group Virtual Symplectic Seminars. 

We also ask that you please forward this announcement to your department and other interested parties. If you are organizing an online seminar in symplectic topology, and would like to advertise it to a wider audience, please contact one of the organisers for access to our Google Group mailing list. Hope to "see" you there!

Meetings open 15 minutes ahead of the start time to allow people to sort out technical difficulties and chat among themselves.
